How ERP Systems Improve Supply Chain Management

ERP systems can assist with several aspects of the supply chain management process and provide real-time operational information and insights across multiple departments.

Let’s take a brief look at the various functions in which ERP supports the creation and management of supply chains.

Planning

An ERP system provides a flexible and easier way to establish and modify all variables required in the supply chain implementation. Planning includes product stock and inventory, production strategies, and selection of appropriate marketing channels for distribution.

Procurement

Product supply and procurement methods are vital links in the supply chain. An ERP system is capable of offering cross-platform visibility on various aspects affecting procurement, including manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing resources.

It works the way you want! Microsoft Dynamics NAV looks and works like Microsoft Office which means that you can get to work immediately with no change-over delays. It is also role-tailored to give employees relevant insights for their day-to-day work with accurate and instantaneous information. Data that is so readily available can solve not only today’s problems but also plan for tomorrow. With its cloud and on-premise deployment, you also have the flexibility to choose to work when and where you want – at the office, at home, or on the road.

Monitoring

Supply chain management is only competitive and cost-effective with the ability to monitor and perform changes when and where needed. Using an ERP system ensures accurate monitoring and maintenance of all supply chain activities.

Measurement

Lastly, the supply chain process generates multiple activities and workflow systems. An ERP solution is needed to aggregate and analyse all operations generated through this process and measure the output against projected targets to ensure compliance and growth.
